Levante vs Real Sociedad prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-12-19 15:15.
[p]Itâs the battle of the caretaker managers at the Estadi Ciutat de ValĂšncia as bottom-of-the-table Levante host a Real Sociedad side peering anxiously over their shoulder towards the drop zone.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It was early October when Levante last won a La Liga fixture (D1, L6), and with both of their league victories this season coming on the road, youâd have to go back to May 2022 to find the last time they picked up three points at home in the top-flight. The Frogs were denied the chance to put that right last weekend when their game against Villarreal was postponed, meaning it’s been almost two weeks since their last top-flight outing, a 2-0 defeat against Osasuna which marked a fifth successive league loss in caretaker boss Ălvaro del Moralâs first league game in charge.[/p]
[p]Real Sociedad fell to their third successive league defeat at the weekend as they conceded twice after the 75th minute to go down 2-1 at home to lowly Girona. That loss was their 19th La Liga defeat in 2025 and not only saw them end the gameweek in 15th place, just one point above the relegation zone, but also resulted in the sacking of Sergio Francisco as manager. B team boss Ion Ansotegi has been installed as caretaker and his first task is to extend some strong travelling form across La Real’s last seven competitive away games (W4, D2, L1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The home side on the day won the last four H2Hs, and Sociedad are on a three-game winless streak in away H2Hs (D1, L2).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Sociedad have picked up 2+ yellow cards in seven of their eight away league matches this season.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
